Two weeks came and passed. Though Erich missed his graduation due to the severity of his circumstances, he was granted an unusual reprieve and received his rather useless diploma in the mail. And just like his father had explained to him, both in person and via online messaging, He would be shipping off to the Naval Academy again.
But this time around, he would only be spending a day there, before being sent off to the ruthless training that a member of the Germanic Star-Empire's most elite special forces was forced to endure. Thus, Erich gathered his things and set off from his house. But before doing so, he made a brief farewell to both his mother and, shockingly, the oldest of his younger sisters.
In the door way Erich hugged Krista and thanked her for raising him properly. Though he whispered something to her that made the mature blonde beauty quite confused.
"Thank you mom... For everything... I promise you this time I won't be such a disappointment..."
